* Play KSR Game Contest: Kentucky v Louisville Here *

[Darrell KSR]

1. Predict the Kentucky margin of victory. If you believe that Kentucky will lose, make sure that you make it clearly known with a -- [minus sign], or something else.

2. Predict the game high scorer, AND the total number of points he will score in the game. NOTE--it does not have to be a Kentucky player for this KSR point.

3. Backcourt Bubble - One of the keys for Kentucky may be to "stay with" the Louisville backcourt, who arguably constitute the best backcourt in the nation. For this point, predict whether Peyton Siva + Russ Smith will have more or less points + assists than the Kentucky backcourt, which consists of Ryan Harrow, Archie Goodwin & Jarrod Polson, and by how many. (For example: UL - 11 more than UK)

TB: Number of Kentucky offensive rebounds.

Good luck!

Congrats to blueboss for his 3rd win this season, and welcome to the winner's circle, Harlow!

[Catfan73]

Sounds to me like Harlow was saying UL would have 8 more offensive rebounds than UK, not that UK would have 8. But what do I know? I went o-fer.

Sounds to me like Harlow was saying UL would have 8 more offensive rebounds than UK, not that UK would have 8. But what do I know? I went o-fer.

Well, that would be the most logical interpretation in a vacuum, but since the question was asked how many O-rebs UK would have, and needing a number, the judge ruled a number is a number, and went with the number shown. Could've explained it away by saying the L was a typo and meant a K, too. And the + was just for emphasis. So rather than trying to get into interpretive decisions which allow arguments, just took, "a number is a number, which answers the question" approach.

I'm just glad somebody else is paying attention and checking up on me. Tells me I can't get away with saying "I win" every game, either lol.

[Catfan73]

Oh, I think you do an awesome job, Darrell. I think if it were me, I would be more of a stickler for accuracy, but then it probably wouldn't be nearly as much fun. Keep up the good work!
